West Dartmoor Art Group (WDAG) proudly presents its 20^th exhibition and sale of original works of art at affordable prices in Peter Tavy Village Hall, 10am to 5pm daily with free entry.

We are happy to announce the exhibition’s return to its usual summer slot AND the return of mouth-watering homemade cakes and drinks. With one or two exceptions, all the paintings in the show are for sale, as are the unframed prints in the browsers and attractive postcards and greeting cards.

A popular item at the exhibition is ‘My Favourite Painting’, where visitors can vote for their favourite picture. Winning the vote is a much sought-after honour for members, and the artist’s name is inscribed on a cup and presented to them at the AGM, to keep for the year.

WDAG is also pleased to continue supporting two excellent local charities, Dartmoor Rescue and Devon Air Ambulance. WDAG has raised thousands of pounds over the last 22 years with donations, a percentage of sales, and income from the popular raffle, with prizes donated by members and local businesses.

We hope that you can join us in this cheerful display of original works of art and admire the lovely floral displays which complement the paintings. Maybe try a cup of tea and a slice of cake too? We invite friends old and new to join us in celebrating so many successful years of painting and exhibiting.

WDAG meets weekly in Peter Tavy Village Hall and sessions include demonstrations from professional artists, as well as support and advice from other members. The monthly in-house competition on a wide range of topics, is a light hearted affair, where one is judged by one’s peers; but nevertheless, it gives focus to the interpretation of the subject and it is fiercely contested. Another annual club competition is for the Buzz Bowl, a cup presented by Buzz Goscombe for the best painting of Dartmoor displayed at the AGM.
